Iconic Disney Imagineer Bob Gurr was onsite at the "Haunted Orange County™" booth.
Walt Disney himself hired Bob, who is one of the two remaining original Imagineers. Working with Walt to design Disneyland, Bob created the vehicle – nd of course, besides his designs for the miniature cars in Autopia and the Monorail, he designed the Doom Buggies for the Haunted Mansion.
Bob, who was named a Disney Legend in 2004, also developed the first realistic humanoid animatronic in the 1960s, for the New York World's Fair: Abraham Lincoln, for "Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln".
After taking early retirement, he would go on to create animatronics for Steven Spielberg, as well as designing effects for Michael Jackson's Victory tour, among innumerable other projects.
Named a Disney Legend in 2004, Bob still does consulting work for Disney today. In addition, his website says he's in the middle of another exciting independent project!
